“Do not post to me” - Repost
Free Republic | 10/06/09 | Admin Moderator

Posted on 10/06/2009 3:55:51 PM PDT by Admin Moderator

We've received many requests from freepers requesting that other freepers not post to them. There are several problems with this.

1. It's impossible for us to enforce.
2. We don't have the time to enforce these requests.
3. We don't have the software to keep track of these requests.
4. Thick skin helps.
5. Ignore the poster, if you don't reply, they won't reply.

Free Republic does not need a bozo filter, bozo filters are for wimps.

Final note: Trolls, troublemakers, disruptors, forum pests, malcontents, RINOs, liberals, stalkers, et al, would continue posting to (harassing) someone after being asked to stop. Conservative FReepers would not.

First thread.

There is a FReeper that has the “all” account. I don’t remember who it is.

Ping All!

PS In Texas, we have the Y'all feature working...

So I’d like it if Free Republic’s forum had a “To” and “From” line at the TOP of posts,

While you're at it, I've wanted the same to:from lines on the reply screen so that I can copy and paste from that screen to both parties without having to leave the reply screen, thusly:

Just a thought.

That’s why I love this place. It’s not for intellectual wimps, trash-talkers, or sissies.

Actually, since the album (and subsequent followup project) are back in print, I might suggest you give it a listen, but then you might accuse him of seducing you with that lovely music! ;)

Just to add another perspective, I wrote my own bozo filter code for the forum I used to run on my site and it actually cut WAY back on the amount of moderating I had to do. The code was fairly simple to write and integrate into my existing forum code (it helped that I wrote the forum code myself), and it prevented so many of the long, thread derailing fights that everyone, including me, enjoyed the forums a lot more. Of course if Jim and staff didn’t create this forum themselves, adding a bozo filter would probably be a bigger pain in the rectum. It can be done though, and in the end makes the mods jobs easier...or that was my experience anyway.

It can be done with greasemonkey if you have the patience (simple javascript), but I never cared to dig into it enough to fully implement it. I have had it working for a short period of time to remove some offensive image macros from certain posters, but just didn’t care to rebuild and maintain it after a hard drive crash. And yes, I did have it working for FR...

In certain instances ignore is a nice function, but ultimately I’d have to agree with the mods and Jim on this anyway.

Please explain.
Didn't you just get through complaining that I was "stalking" you? Why, yes, you did.
